Learn, Participate, Conserve

If you are a photographer and have been hoping to get involved in monarch conservation, but weren't sure how or where to begin, we have the perfect job for you! We're updating Monarch SOS over the next several months and could really use your help with western milkweed (Asclepias) images. Your name (and website link if you have a website) will be added to each image under the photo description and users will benefit from your contribution by learning how to correctly identify these species and report them to Monarch Joint Venture partners collecting milkweed and monarch data. One program Monarch SOS works closely with is Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation. Check out their new Western Monarch and Milkweed Mapper - so awesome! Also check out the Monarch Joint Venture website for other ways to become involved in monarch and milkweed citizen science efforts.

Please contact us by clicking here, and let us know where you are located and which images you will be able to contribute. We can work out the best way to receive the images and make sure proper credit is given for each photo.
